* block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAITChristoph Hellwig2010-09-161-14/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

* block: make sure FSEQ_DATA request has the same rq_disk as the originalTejun Heo2010-09-101-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | rq->rq_disk and bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk may differ if a request has passed through remapping drivers. FSEQ_DATA request incorrectly followed bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk ending up being issued w/ mismatching rq_disk. Make it follow orig_rq->rq_disk.

* block: kick queue after sequencing REQ_FLUSH/FUATejun Heo2010-09-101-3/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While completing a request from a REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence, another request can be pushed to the request queue. If a driver tests elv_queue_empty() before completing a request and runs the queue again only if the queue wasn't empty, this may lead to hang. Please note that most drivers either kick the queue unconditionally or test queue emptiness after completing the current request and don't have this problem. This patch removes this possibility by making REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence code kick the queue if the queue was empty before completing a request from REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence.

* block: initialize flush request with WRITE_FLUSH instead of REQ_FLUSHTejun Heo2010-09-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | init_flush_request() only set REQ_FLUSH when initializing flush requests making them READ requests. Use WRITE_FLUSH instead. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Reported-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
* block: simplify queue_next_fseqChristoph Hellwig2010-09-101-16/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | We need to call blk_rq_init and elv_insert for all cases in queue_next_fseq, so take these calls into common code. Also move the end_io initialization from queue_flush into queue_next_fseq and rename queue_flush to init_flush_request now that it's old name doesn't apply anymore.

* block: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA based interface for FLUSH/FUA requestsTejun Heo2010-09-101-39/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the backend conversion is complete, export sequenced FLUSH/FUA capability through REQ_FLUSH/FUA flags. REQ_FLUSH means the device cache should be flushed before executing the request. REQ_FUA means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on completion. Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics and execute it. The request may be passed to the device directly if the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or more proxy requests. Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA which it doesn't support. Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. If the underlying device doesn't support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop. IOW, it no longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support cache flush and writethrough/no cache. Devices which have WB cache w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling. This will simplify filesystems and block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers. * QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into blk-flush.c. * REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use of proxy requests. * REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are copied from bio to request. * WRITE_BARRIER is marked deprecated and WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA and WRITE_FLUSH_FUA are added.

* block: rename barrier/ordered to flushTejun Heo2010-09-101-50/+48
| | | | | | | | | | With ordering requirements dropped, barrier and ordered are misnomers. Now all block layer does is sequencing FLUSH and FUA. Rename them to flush. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
